SNOWFALL today closed schools and left slippery conditions on roads and paths across the area.

Ilkley Grammar School and St Mary’s Menston both closed at 2pm, due to weather conditions, as heavy snow showers set in.

Bradford Council has advised residents that bin collections may be disrupted if crews cannot safely access roads in the area. The Council apologised for any disruption, and said it would note any missed collections and arrange to empty bins as soon as possible.

The Council has also taken the decision to close its sports pitches across the district on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It said the ground would be wet and could become damaged if sports events are played on them.
